Although Google Chrome is considered the most popular browser, sometimes users remove it because of unobthequest. This happens because of the need to reinstall, but it happens much less often the first situation. There are several methods for performing the task - with third-party or through standard operating system tools. Today we want to demonstrate all these options, everybody disassembled in detail. You will only have to choose the best way.
Delete the Google Chrome browser in Windows
A complete removal of the web browser is not only in the use of a standard uninstaller, this includes and cleaning residual files, which are often saved on the PC and interfere with the correct interaction with it, and simply take up an excess place. Special tools for deleting are good in that they automatically clean the temporary objects and registry entries, and when using a standard tool, everyone will have to be done manually. We will tell you more about this in the following three ways.Method 1: Iobit Uninstaller
Let's start with the tools from standard developers by taking only the most popular and convenient solutions. The first such program is called Iobit Uninstaller and is distributed free of charge. The interaction with it is the most simple and intuitive, so even the newcomer can uninstall chrome without any problems.
- After downloading and installing software, launch it and go to the "Programs" section.
- Run down the list, where to find Google Chrome and highlight the line with a check mark.
- Click on the green button with the inscription "Uninstall", which caught fire on the right above.
- Tick the checkbox "Automatically delete all residual files" and click again on "Uninstall".
- Expect the operation to complete the progress through the menu displayed.
- Additionally, a built-in message deleting message will appear, confirm it, after selecting "also delete the browser data."
- At the end, you will be notified of how many files were removed and registry entries are cleaned.
You can just in case restart the computer so that all changes accurately entered into force. After that, you can re-install Google Chrome or go to the use of another web browser.
Method 2: Revo Uninstaller
The second program, which will be discussed in our current article, is called Revo Uninstaller and functions about the same principle as the tool considered above. We recommend using it if you do not fit the first option, but you still want to uninstall by third-party.
- Run the software and go to the "uninstaller".
- Lay the browser in the list and double-click on it with the left mouse button.
- Expect to create a system recovery point.
- Then there will be a notification that chrome will be deleted. Confirm it.
- The Chrome Help page opens in the standard browser. Here you can answer questions from the developers or simply close this window.
- Next, it remains only to scan the presence of residual files. We recommend leaving moderate mode, then click on "Scan".
- Wait for the end of the check, and then confirm the deletion of the files found.
